Did Jane Street Manipulate India’s F&O Markets? Whistleblower Mayank Bansal Breaks It Down

BTTV’s exclusive interview with Jane Street whistleblower Mayank Bansal, President of a UAE-based hedge fund, exposes the market manipulation game by Jane Street. SEBI has imposed a temporary ban on the US-based hedge fund, accusing it of running a “sinister and well-planned” market manipulation scheme. The regulator has frozen ₹4,840 crore of past profits and claims Jane Street manipulated Bank Nifty options during 15 out of 18 weekly expiries. The probe, triggered by a US court case, exposed aggressive expiry-day trading strategies. SEBI’s crackdown comes amid mounting retail losses in F&O—₹1.1 lakh crore in FY25 alone.

Johnston explains that Trump fundamentally misunderstands tariffs — exporters don’t pay them, consumers do.

If this continues, he warns, countries like the EU, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and New Zealand might form a new trade bloc — excluding the United States entirely.

Bilawal Bhutto Sparks Row Over Terror Extradition | Hafiz Saeed's Son Talha Saeed Hits Back

In a new twist to the ongoing India–Pakistan tensions, Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto has stirred controversy by suggesting that extradition of UN-designated terrorists to India could be possible — but only if India cooperates on securing convictions. Bhutto’s conditional offer was met with strong backlash at home, including from Talha Saeed, son of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, who accused Bhutto of siding with the enemy and speaking against national interest. India, meanwhile, responded firmly. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh made it clear that India will engage with Pakistan only on the issue of terrorism, and that Pakistan must stop sheltering global terrorists rather than deflecting blame. "If Pakistan is serious about peace, it must first dismantle the terror networks it has nurtured. It should start by handing over Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India." he said.

West Bengal’s Aparajita Bill Explained: Punishments, Politics & How It Differs From BNS Bill 2023

West Bengal is once again in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, a horrific rape incident inside a Kolkata government law college — months after the RG Kar Medical College horror.

But, What is the Aparajita Bill? The 'Aparajita Woman and Child Bill (West Bengal Criminal Laws and Amendment) Bill 2024,' the legislation aims to strengthen protections for women and children by revising and introducing new provisions related to rape and sexual offences. But what exactly is the difference between the Mamata government's new anti-rape Bill and the anti-rape provisions in the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) 2023? But the bill, like similar laws in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, is stuck — awaiting Presidential assent. Critics say it’s being stalled due to political rivalry between the TMC and the BJP-led Centre.

Journey From Tibet To Exile In India: The 14th Dalai Lama’s Fight For His Legacy Against China

In a historic announcement just days before his 90th birthday on July 6, 2025, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama declared that the Gaden Phodrang Trust, his personal spiritual foundation, will solely oversee the selection of his reincarnation, a decision with profound implications for Tibet, India, and China. This video dives deep into the significance of this move, exploring the Dalai Lama’s life, the intricate process of reincarnation, and the escalating geopolitical tensions surrounding Tibetan Buddhist succession. Born Lhamo Thondup in 1935 in northeastern Tibet, the 14th Dalai Lama was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at age two and enthroned in 1940 at the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Forced into exile in Dharamshala, India, in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, he has since become a global symbol of peace, compassion, and Tibetan identity, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. We’ll unpack the Gaden Phodrang Foundation’s role, originally the 17th-century Tibetan government and now a non-profit trust tasked with preserving the Dalai Lama’s spiritual legacy outside Chinese influence. Learn about the traditional Tibetan Buddhist process for identifying a Dalai Lama, where senior lamas seek spiritual signs—dreams, visions, or unusual phenomena—to locate a child born around the time of the previous Dalai Lama’s passing. These children undergo tests, such as identifying objects belonging to the previous Dalai Lama, to confirm their status as the reincarnation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The video also examines the escalating conflict between Tibetans and China over the Dalai Lama’s succession. Beijing insists on controlling the process, citing a 1793 Qing Dynasty edict and a 2007 regulation mandating the use of the Golden Urn, a lottery system, to select reincarnated lamas. Tibetans and the Dalai Lama reject this, viewing it as an attempt to undermine Tibetan autonomy and culture. The case of the Panchen Lama, the second-highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism, highlights this tension: in 1995, the Dalai Lama recognized six-year-old Gedhun Nyima as the 11th Panchen Lama, only for China to detain him and appoint Gyaltsen Norbu as its own Panchen Lama, who has since met with President Xi Jinping. With India, host to the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala, firmly supporting the Dalai Lama’s authority over his reincarnation and rejecting China’s claims, this decision sets the stage for a complex geopolitical showdown. Join us as we explore the history, spirituality, and high-stakes politics surrounding the Dalai Lama’s legacy, the fight for Tibetan identity, and the future of this revered institution.

8 Years Of GST | From Vajpayee’s Vision To Modi’s Implementation: GST Journey Explained

On July 1, 2017 midnight, India saw what was described as a “tryst with economic destiny”. Under a ceremonial launch in Parliament's Central Hall, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out as the most significant economic reforms in India's history, revolutionising the country's indirect tax system. Often referred to as One Nation, One Tax, GST replaced a patchwork of indirect taxes with a unified framework aimed at streamlining India’s economy. Before the introduction of GST, India’s tax structure was complex and multi-layered, with various direct and indirect taxes that varied from state to state. Taxes like VAT, excise duty, service tax, and central sales tax were levied at different stages of production and distribution, leading to a cascading effect on the consumer. The formation of the new indirect tax regime started way back in 2000 when the then prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, set up a committee headed by then finance minister of West Bengal, Asim Dasgupta, to design a GST model. Eight years since its historic rollout, GST has transformed the Indian tax system in ways never seen before. But for all its success, GST remains far from the "Good and Simple Tax" it originally aimed to be.

Delhi’s Cloud Seeding Trials Explained: Can Artificial Rain Clear The City’s Pollution?

Delhi’s bold new experiment to fight air pollution is here! From July 4-11, 2025, the BJP government in Delhi is launching cloud seeding trials to induce artificial rain and tackle the city’s notorious smog. In this video, we dive deep into how this groundbreaking initiative works, its potential to transform Delhi’s air quality, and the challenges it faces. Using modified Cessna aircraft, experts from IIT Kanpur will disperse a scientifically formulated mix of silver iodide nanoparticles, iodized salt, and rock salt over 100 sq km in northwest and outer Delhi. This weather modification technique, known as cloud seeding, stimulates clouds to produce rainfall, washing away harmful pollutants from the air. Countries like China, USA, and the UAE have successfully used cloud seeding to manage rainfall and combat pollution, and now Delhi is following suit with this historic trial. Delhi’s trials will involve five 90-minute sorties, each covering 100 sq km, targeting clouds to create rain that could offer temporary relief from the city’s hazardous air quality. But it’s not without challenges. Adequate cloud cover is critical, and during Delhi’s peak pollution season in winter, clouds can be scarce, making the process tricky. Other Indian states like Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan have tried cloud seeding to combat drought, with mixed results due to similar issues of insufficient clouds.

Delhi Govt Puts A Hold On Ban On Old Vehicles | AAP Slams BJP Over 'Tughlaqi Farman' U-Turn

Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa confirmed the U-turn and said a new system is being considered. Meanwhile, petrol pumps remain confused, and political friction continues. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took a dig at the BJP, with Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bhardwaj calling it a "Tughlaqi farman" and crediting public pressure for the rollback.

The ₹4,843 Crore Trick: How Trading Giant Jane Street Gamed India’s Market & Got Caught

Between January 2023 and March 2025, global trading giant Jane Street Group allegedly exploited India’s derivatives markets with a high-frequency strategy that SEBI now calls manipulative and unlawful. The firm’s profits from these trades? ₹4,843 crore—just part of the ₹43,289 crore it reportedly made in India during the period. Jane Street’s operations in India were spread across three registered foreign portfolio investors (FPIs): Jane Street Asia Trading Limited (JSATL), Jane Street India Trading Private Limited (JSITPL), and Jane Street Asia LLC (JSALLC). On paper, these were separate legal entities. But SEBI’s investigation concluded that they acted as a single group under common control, executing synchronized trades with near-perfect coordination. SEBI found that these entities routinely took opposite positions in index derivatives—especially Nifty and Bank Nifty futures and options. One Jane Street entity would buy, while another sold, the same contract, at the same price and the same time. Listen in

Indian Culture Attacked In U.S. Politics? The Zohran Mamdani Controversy

What began as a simple lunch turned into a storm of controversy. New York City Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani — potentially the city’s next mayor — was filmed eating with his hands during an interview. A practice common in South Asian households, but one that drew racist ire from Republican Congressman Brandon Gill, who called Mamdani “uncivilised” and told him to “go back to the Third World.” The internet quickly responded, pointing out not just the deeply prejudiced nature of Gill’s comments, but also the glaring hypocrisy — given he’s married to a woman of Indian origin, whose own father was seen eating with his hands in the US. As criticism mounts, Gill finds himself at the centre of a racism and culture storm. Is this a cultural misunderstanding or deliberate dog-whistle politics? Watch our full report.

40 Dead In Telangana Factory Fire: Who’s Responsible For The Safety Lapses?

A devastating fire at the Sigachi Pharma chemical factory in Telangana’s Sangareddy district has claimed at least 40 lives. What’s more shocking — the factory was operating without a fire NOC, without a safety audit, and without oversight. In a startling admission, Telangana Fire Services DG Nagi Reddy revealed that the building didn’t legally require fire clearance under current rules — a dangerous loophole that’s now proven fatal. This factory, built in 1989, had no credible fire safety infrastructure. With patchy extinguishers and zero accountability, it became a death trap for workers. As families grieve and demand justice, the big question remains: if no one needed permission, who is responsible for the lives lost?

In this power-packed market commentary, Shailender Bhatnagar breaks down the state of the Indian markets on July 1st, kicking off the second half of 2025. After a sharp four-month rally that saw the Nifty surge over 3,000 points, markets have opened the new quarter on a muted note with low volumes and cautious sentiment ahead of Q1 earnings. The Nifty traded in a narrow range while Bank Nifty hit a fresh record high. Standout movers included Raymond, BEL, and Apollo Hospitals, the latter surging on news of a demerger and volume breakout. The commentary also touches on emerging momentum in insurance stocks like HDFC Life and ICICI Lombard, following budget announcements on FDI, and identifies opportunities in beaten-down bluechips like Carborundum Universal. Bhatnagar further highlights the sharp gains in auto ancillary names such as Gabriel India and Banco Products, along with strength in defense and PSU banking stocks.

Exploring Detroit Of India | The Vande Bharat Journey From Chennai To Kanniyakumari

Join Piyush Mishra and his team, Ankit Singh and Amit Bhadwar, on an unforgettable adventure as they embark on the final leg of an epic journey from the vibrant streets of Chennai to the serene shores of Kanyakumari aboard the iconic Vande Bharat Express! This 700-km, 9-hour ride from Chennai’s bustling Egmore railway station to Kanniyakumari, India’s southernmost tip, is more than just a train journey—it’s a vibrant celebration of India’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. In this captivating vlog, we begin at Chennai’s Egmore station, one of the city’s busiest railway hubs, and step aboard the sleek Vande Bharat train, renowned for its speed, comfort, and spacious interiors. As the train races toward Nagercoil—just 35 minutes from Kanniyakumari—it makes brief stops at seven major stations, including Madurai, the cultural capital of Tamil Nadu. Nestled on the banks of the Vaigai River, Madurai shines as a hub of education, industry, and timeless tradition, and we soak in its vibrant charm. Along the way, Piyush connects with fellow passengers, including a parent traveling with young children who raves about the Vande Bharat’s family-friendly environment: “It’s so spacious, kids can play and walk around freely,” he shares, highlighting why this train outshines buses or cars. From savoring delicious onboard breakfasts served by Indian Railways to marveling at the ever-changing scenery outside our windows, this journey is a feast for the senses. This trip marks the grand finale of a remarkable 5-day odyssey connecting Kashmir to Kanniyakumari, traversing thousands of kilometers through India’s magnificent railway network. From the chilly peaks of the Himalayas to the tropical warmth of the southern coast, we’ve witnessed the heart of India—its diverse cultures, languages, cuisines, and landscapes. Every station brought a new story, every face a new smile, and every moment a reminder of India’s unifying spirit. As we arrive in Kanniyakumari, Piyush reflects on the memories, cultures, and wonders encountered along the way. This journey is a testament to the Vande Bharat Express, India’s semi-high-speed marvel, which operates over 70 routes nationwide as of September 2024, connecting cities like New Delhi to Varanasi, Mumbai to Gandhinagar, and Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod with modern amenities and reduced travel times. Join us as we sign off from Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, carrying not just memories but the essence of India’s incredible diversity.

Why M&M, Tata Motors & Force Motors Stand Out In India’s Auto Story

Nitin Bhasin, Head of Institutional Equities at Ambit, shares his nuanced perspective on the Indian auto sector. While the sector has delivered strong performance over the past three to four years, Bhasin notes that the last six to twelve months have brought pressure. Yet, stocks like Mahindra & Mahindra have stood out, thanks to their strong portfolio in tractors and SUVs. He emphasises that consistent product innovation and pricing power are the two key ingredients for sustained market share and returns in the auto space. Bhasin highlights names such as M&M, Tata Motors, and notably small-cap player Force Motors, which has surprised many with successful product launches. He also points to Hyundai’s ambitious plan to introduce 25–26 new models over the next few years—including the Creta EV—as a sign of growing seriousness among OEMs to cater to India’s increasingly aspirational consumer base. With the global EV race intensifying and customer expectations evolving rapidly, he believes Indian auto players must return to the drawing board with innovative, premium-quality offerings to stay competitive in the market.

Speaking to Business Today, Bhasin reveals that Ambit is now advising clients to reduce exposure to banks—particularly private sector and PSU banks—and increase allocation towards the IT sector. The reasoning lies in concerns around margin pressures and subdued credit growth in banks, which could lead to earnings downgrades. Meanwhile, IT companies, having already seen earnings estimates cut, may benefit from signs of recovery in global tech demand.

Iran & U.S: A Timeline Of Betrayals, Broken Deals And The Bombing That Shocked The World In 2025

The United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, reigniting one of the world’s most volatile rivalries. But this isn’t a sudden conflict — it’s the result of over 70 years of shifting alliances, secret operations, broken trust, and failed diplomacy between the two nations. It all began in 1953, when the U.S. and Britain orchestrated the overthrow of Iran’s democratic Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and restored the Shah to power. Ironically, the same U.S. that later tried to block Iran’s nuclear ambitions was the one that helped build them. Through the 1950s and 60s, America backed Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, even supplying uranium and a nuclear reactor under the Atoms for Peace initiative. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, everything changed. Iran became fiercely anti-Western, and by 1984, the U.S. had officially labeled Iran a state sponsor of terrorism. In the early 2000s, revelations of hidden nuclear sites at Natanz and Arak alarmed the international community and led to years of sanctions and failed negotiations. A major breakthrough came in 2015 with the Iran Nuclear Deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It was signed between Iran and world powers, including the U.S., and aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief. But in 2018, President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal, calling it one-sided and ineffective. Iran, in turn, abandoned its commitments and resumed uranium enrichment. By 2023, Iran was enriching uranium close to weapons-grade levels. In 2025, during his second term, Trump proposed a new deal — but Iran rejected it, calling the U.S. offer more of a threat than a negotiation. Just days before talks were expected, Israel launched pre-emptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating tensions to a new high. This video breaks down the entire journey — from cooperation to confrontation — and explains how the past continues to shape one of the most dangerous stand-offs in the modern world.

EAM: Emergency Imposed After Govt Faced Corruption Allegations & Court Verdict On PM Indira Gandhi

On the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar highlights the political and economic context that led to one of the darkest chapters in India’s democracy.

First Muslim, First Indian-American? Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Over Cuomo Shakes Up NYC Politics

Zohran Mamdani has just made history by winning the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning primary upset. At just 33 years old, Mamdani — often labelled a “Muslim socialist” — ran a bold, disciplined campaign focused on everyday cost-of-living issues like housing, transportation, childcare, and groceries. In this video, we break down what Mamdani’s victory really means — not just for New York, but for the future of progressive politics in America. From his criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza to his multilingual outreach and deep connection with working-class voters, Mamdani represents a new kind of leadership challenging the Democratic establishment. If elected, Zohran Mamdani will become the first Muslim and first Indian-American mayor of New York City. With polls showing him in the lead, the city — and the nation — are watching closely.

Trump Claims Iran's Nuclear Sites Neutralized | Intel Disagrees Says Minor Setback

The US President Donald Trump had used the same word ‘Obliteration’ to describe the impact of the U.S. deployment of 30,000-pound bombs on Iran's nuclear site at Fordow. But that claim appeared to be contradicted by an initial assessment by one of his administration's intelligence agencies. The Defense Intelligence Agency reports that while entrances were sealed, many of Iran’s underground nuclear operations may have survived. Israel backs Trump’s claim, insisting the program has been set back “by years.” Iran’s parliament in the meantime has approved a bill on Wednesday to suspend cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). With growing criticism in Washington over Trump’s decision to strike without Congressional approval, the political fallout is just beginning.

Opportunity In Ancillary Defence Firms? What Investors Should Know

Deven Choksey, MD of DR Choksey FinServ Private, offers a comprehensive outlook on India’s defence sector amid rising geopolitical tensions and robust government spending. While the sector continues to benefit from strong order flows, export momentum, and the ‘Make in India’ push, valuations have become increasingly stretched—some stocks trading at 70 to 120 times earnings. Choksey argues that although long-term potential and business visibility remain strong, current pricing leaves little margin for error. He advises caution for new investors and suggests that real opportunities may lie in ancillary defence companies, many of which are still to go public. For those seeking exposure, timing and price discipline could make all the difference.

The Emergency Diaries: Amit Shah Reveals PM Modi’s Secret Role During The Emergency

The Emergency Diaries: Year That Forged Our Leaders chronicles a gripping chapter from PM Narendra Modi’s youth, as revealed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The book captures Modi’s underground role during the 1975 Emergency—when, as a 24-year-old activist, he evaded arrest, disguised himself as a sadhu, Sardar, hippie, and newspaper vendor, and fearlessly distributed banned literature. He supported jailed MISA detainees and coordinated medical help for them. Shah calls this a story of resistance, courage, and leadership forged in India’s darkest hours.

Why FMCG Stocks Are Lagging Despite Policy Push | Sharad Avasthi Explains

FMCG stocks continue to lag despite supportive government policies, timely monsoons, and monetary easing. Sharad Avasthi, Head of Research (PCG) at SMIFS, explains why the sector hasn’t moved meaningfully. He cites expensive valuations, rising input costs like palm oil and milk, and disruption from new-age players such as Onasa. Traditional distribution advantages are fading in an increasingly digital world. While urban consumption is expected to improve, high valuation stocks may still struggle to justify their premiums. Avasthi believes the underperformance could continue for another year, but select emerging players might surprise on the upside. Listen in

50 Years Of Emergency: How Indira Gandhi Suspended Indian Democracy & What Led To It?

June 25, 2025 marks 50 years of Emergency, imposed by the then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi - a darkest chapter in India's history. Emergency was an extraordinary 21-month period from June 25, 1975 to March 21, 1977, which saw the suspension of civil liberties, curtailment of press freedom, mass arrests, the cancellation of elections, and rule by decree. A time of fear, silence, and control. Opposition leaders were jailed, courts were weakened, and the Constitution was altered to centralize power. The Emergency left an indelible mark on India's political and social landscape. The period also highlighted the importance of a free and independent press, an impartial judiciary, and a robust system of checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power by the executive.

Trump Declares End To 12-Day Iran-Israel War | But Missile Strike Continues

He came. He bombed. And he claimed victory. At least, that's what U.S. President Donald Trump wants the world to believe. Two days after a fleet of stealthy American bombers struck deeply buried Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump announced a “complete and total” ceasefire in the war between Israel and Iran. However, the ceasefire lasted only a few hours, sirens blared in Haifa, the Galilee and the Golan Heights after Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel. In retaliation, Israel launched targeted attack on Iran's missile launchers. Iranian missiles also struck a U.S. base in Qatar—though casualties were avoided due to advance notice. But the question remains - Who won? Trump administration says Iran's nuclear threat is “neutralized", Iran celebrates its “heroic resistance," Israeli officials say most planned targets in Iran were destroyed.

With the launch of the Harrier EV at an introductory price of ₹21.49 lakh, he noted that investor focus is shifting back to Tata Motors. Kant highlighted that most of the negatives, including the impact of import tariffs and cash flow dilution, have already been priced into the stock. While the company may end the year with zero cash flow, upcoming structural changes—such as the planned split between the commercial and passenger vehicle businesses—are expected to unlock further value. He added that the revised SOTP valuation of ₹1100, down from earlier estimates due to tariffs, still suggests a meaningful upside. With positive news flows and strategic developments on the horizon, Kant believes Tata Motors remains a good buy at current level.

India is treading a fine line as tensions rise between Iran and Israel.

From Fibre To Satellite: Scindia Calls For Fair Competition In All Sectors

On the occasion of World WiFi Day, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia delivered a compelling address on India’s evolving telecom landscape, emphasising the need to stay company-agnostic but customer-centric. Speaking of India’s telecom transformation, he underscored the dramatic fall in mobile and data prices over the past three decades—from ₹1 lakh per handset in 1994 and ₹16 per minute call rates to just ₹0.03 per minute today, with data now costing ₹9 per GB versus the global average of $2.49. Calling this the true democratisation of technology, Scindia said India's telecom revolution is rooted in inclusive access and healthy competition. With mobile, broadband, fibre, WiFi, and soon, satellite connectivity, he argued that every technology must be made available to India’s 1.4 billion citizens. He strongly opposed the idea of a duopoly, stressing that competition in every vertical—from telecom carriers to internet service providers—is essential. With BharatNet and the introduction of BharatNet Udyamis (BNUs), Scindia said India is empowering the next generation of digital entrepreneurs, akin to the PCO revolution of the 1990s.

Shashi Tharoor’s PM Modi Praise Stuns Congress: Rift Widens Amid Operation Sindoor Diplomacy

Fresh off a five-nation diplomatic tour defending India’s Operation Sindoor, Tharoor penned a striking column hailing PM Modi as a “prime asset for India” — praising his energy, global diplomacy, and strategic leadership. The timing of this praise is critical, coming just days after Tharoor admitted to internal rifts with the Congress top brass. This open endorsement has sparked backlash from within the party, with some calling it a betrayal of UPA’s legacy and surgical strikes. Yet Tharoor remains unfazed, hitting back at critics and trolls, saying he has “better things to do.” Is Tharoor’s bold stance a signal of shifting loyalties in Kerala Congress? Could this Modi-Tharoor bonhomie be the start of a political realignment?

Israel-Iran War: Iran Strikes U.S. Base In Qatar | Trump Announces Total Ceasefire

Explosions were heard across Doha, Qatar as Iran launched missile strikes on U.S. air base in Doha. The attack was Iran's retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites over the weekend. However, hours later, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran on his social media platform, Truth Social. He congratulated the two countries on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what he called the '12-day war.' Trump claimed Iran had given advance notice of the strike, which ensured no casualties. Meanwhile, Israel intensified pressure on Tehran, bombing a political prison in Iran’s capital. While the U.S. insists it’s targeting only Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, Trump has hinted at a bigger goal—toppling Iran’s ruling clerical regime. Is it truly the end or another one of Trump's political gamble?

Strait Of Hormuz On Edge: How The Israel–Iran Conflict Threatens India’s Oil Supply

As tensions escalate between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most vital oil corridors — is once again under threat. Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Tehran’s parliament has voted to close the strait, risking disruption to nearly 20% of global oil flows. For India, the implications are serious, with around 40% of its crude imports passing through this chokepoint. In this in-depth report, we examine how exposed India truly is, what energy security measures are already in place, and whether diversification — including a major shift to Russian oil — can shield the country from supply shocks. We also assess the broader geopolitical picture, from China’s vulnerability to the West’s diplomatic response. As markets react, India’s readiness will be tested — but has it done enough?

Missiles, Blackouts, Prison Strikes: Iran-Israel War Escalates After U.S. Hits Fordow Nuclear Site

The Israel-Iran war has entered a terrifying new phase. A day after U.S. bunker buster bombs struck Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility, missile barrages continue from both sides. Iran hit Israel’s Ashdod power station, causing widespread blackouts. In retaliation, Israel targeted Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison and bombed 6 Iranian airbases, destroying multiple aircraft and crippling flight operations. The iconic Vanak Square tower in Tehran was also hit in this escalating conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed “monumental damage” at Iranian nuclear sites and hinted at a regime change agenda. Iran has responded sharply — warning Washington of dire consequences and branding Trump a “gambler.” As the region teeters on the edge, watch our full ground report with visuals from Ashdod, Tehran, and exclusive analysis of the rising geopolitical storm.

Inside The Strike: Fordow, Iran’s Nuclear Crown Jewel, Reduced To Rubble

In a dramatic midnight operation on June 22, 2025, seven U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers crossed into Iranian airspace, striking three of the country’s most fortified nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The attack used 13,000 kg GBU-57 bunker busters and 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines. From his war room, President Donald Trump called the strike a “rousing success.” While Iran downplays the damage, international agencies confirm no radiation leaks. But the message is clear: even Iran’s deepest bunkers aren’t safe. As tensions escalate, the world edges closer to a broader conflict. Shivani Sharma brings you the full report.

Amid rising geopolitical tensions and a growing global arms race, experts believe India’s defence sector presents a strong long-term investment opportunity. With targets of ₹3 lakh crore in defence exports by 2030 and over 100 countries as buyers, India’s defence ecosystem is rapidly maturing. Experts recommend focusing on frontline stocks like HAL and BEL, calling them must-haves for portfolios—even at current valuations. While shipbuilding stocks like Mazagon Dock and GRSE show promise, some warn they are overvalued and best suited for investors with a 5-year horizon. The consensus is clear: defence remains a high-conviction theme, especially for long-term investors, with select opportunities even for near-term gains.

How To Trade In Markets Amid Rising Geopolitical Political Tensions?

Amid rising geopolitical tensions and crude oil breaching key levels, experts are advising Indian retail investors to adopt a cautious and strategic trading approach. The suggested strategy includes staying stock- and sector-specific, focusing on resilient domestic themes like green energy, and avoiding interest rate-sensitive or export-dependent sectors that could face knee-jerk reactions. Experts also warns that while markets show short-term resilience, sustained upward momentum is unlikely with global uncertainties in play—such as rising oil, a stronger dollar, and a weakening rupee. Retail investors are also being encouraged to take a breather, preserve capital, and use this period to focus on learning, self-reflection, and long-term planning rather than aggressive trading in a volatile environment.

Will Iran Close Hormuz Strait? What It Means For Oil Prices In India And The World

Oil prices jumped to a five-month high after Iran’s Parliament approved a proposal to close the Strait of Hormuz. The final decision, however, rests with the country’s Supreme National Security Council. The proposal comes shortly after the United States carried out major airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities over the weekend, raising tensions in the region and leading to fears of a possible disruption to global oil supplies. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea. It is one of the most important oil transport routes in the world. Nearly 20% of all global crude oil passes through this strait. Any disruption to this route could cause a sharp rise in oil prices and affect countries across the world, especially those that depend heavily on oil imports like India. Two supertankers, Coswisdom Lake and South Loyalty, made sudden U-turns while passing through the strait after the recent US strikes, reported Bloomberg. Though such movement could be part of normal shipping behaviour, it underlines growing concerns in the shipping industry about the safety of vessels in the area. There is currently no sea route alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE do have oil pipelines that bypass the strait, but their combined capacity of around 6.8 million barrels per day is far less than the 20 million barrels that move through Hormuz daily. If Iran does go ahead and block the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices could spike globally. Brent crude, which already rose on Monday, could see much sharper gains. According to a report by Goldman Sachs, if the flow of oil through the Strait is reduced by half for a month and remains down by 10% for another 11 months, Brent could briefly peak at around $110 per barrel. In a more moderate scenario, where Iranian oil supply drops by 1.75 million barrels per day, Brent could reach a high of $90 per barrel, then ease to around $60-70 by 2026 as supply stabilises. The bank also said, “While the events in the Middle East remain fluid, we think that the economic incentives, including for the US and China, to try to prevent a sustained and very large disruption of the Strait of Hormuz would be strong.” For India, a country that imports over 80% of its crude oil needs, any rise in oil prices is a matter of concern. Higher oil prices mean higher fuel costs, which can lead to inflation. It also puts pressure on the government’s budget, as subsidies rise and the import bill becomes more expensive. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, “Even though the possibility of the closure of Hormuz Strait is a threat, it is important to understand that this has always been only a threat and the Strait had never been closed. The fact is that the closure of Hormuz Strait will harm Iran and Iran’s friend China more than anyone else.” Higher oil prices could also affect Indian industries that rely heavily on fuel, such as transportation, airlines, and manufacturing. Companies may pass on increased costs to consumers, pushing prices of goods and services higher.

Tehran Responds To U.S. Strikes On Fordow, Vows To Target American Bases Worldwide

The world watches in alarm as U.S. President Donald Trump unleashes devastating airstrikes on three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites — including the heavily fortified Fordow facility, buried deep within a mountain. Armed with bunker-buster bombs, the strikes triggered thick black plumes of smoke and immediate geopolitical shockwaves. Tehran wasted no time retaliating. Hours later, Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv, shaking Israel and pushing the region further toward chaos. As Iran launches its largest-ever missile attack on occupied territories, it also vows global retaliation — declaring all U.S. bases and citizens as fair targets. Exclusive satellite images accessed by India Today suggest that Iran may have moved uranium stockpiles out of Fordow ahead of the strike, hinting at high-level intel and premeditation. Will Iran escalate the conflict further? Will proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis join the war theatre? And is the world now standing at the edge of another devastating Middle East war?

Who Is Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei? | Why Israel Is Targeting Him Amid Escalating Tensions

Since 1989, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been the Supreme Commander of Iran - making him the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East. Khamenei came to power after the demise of Rohullah Khomeini, which essentially means Khamenei is the second-ever commander of Iran. Khamenei served as the third president of Iran from 1981 to 1989, while becoming a close ally of the first supreme leader. Now 85, Khamenei controls everything from Iran’s foreign policy to military and judiciary. But as the Iran–Israel conflict escalates, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have issued stark threats at Israel could go ahead and target Ali Hosseini Khamenei, suggesting even Khamenei himself could be assassinated. The world closely watches Khamenei as his closest aides now have been assassinated by Israel and is now attempting to de-throne him. Watch as we break down to you Who really is Khamenei? How did he rise to power after Khamenei? Why is he such a powerful, polarizing figure in global geopolitics?

Air India Tragedy: Decoding The Big 'RAT' Clue Which Points At Engine Failure

On June 13, 2025, Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, killing at least 270 people in one of the nation’s deadliest aviation disasters. With only one survivor, investigators are racing to uncover the cause. New evidence suggests both engines may have failed, triggering the deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT), an emergency power generator that provides critical backup power for flight controls, hydraulics, and navigation systems. What happens when a modern commercial jet loses both engines? How does the RAT work, and what does its activation tell us about the final moments of AI171? In this video, we break down the science behind dual engine failure, explore expert theories about possible electronic or hydraulic failures, and analyze why this rare event turned catastrophic. Join us as we dive into the latest findings and discuss what this tragedy means for aviation safety. Share your thoughts in the comments and subscribe for more in-depth aviation content!

Preventing Cancer Before It Starts: New Vaccine Could Revolutionize The Fight Against Breast Cancer

Breast cancer remains one of the deadliest diseases for women globally, claiming over 6.7 lakh lives in 2022 and affecting more than 20.4 lakh women. In India, the burden is especially heavy — with 1 in every 28 women at risk during her lifetime. But now, there’s a new ray of hope. Biotech firm Anixa Biosciences, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, has successfully completed Phase 1 clinical trials of a revolutionary breast cancer vaccine. Designed to prevent the most aggressive type — Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) — the vaccine is being hailed as a game-changer. Given in a series of three shots, the vaccine trains the immune system to destroy a protein called alpha-lactalbumin, which is linked to TNBC. Over 75% of women in the trial developed a strong immune response, with no major side effects. From cancer survivors to women with the BRCA mutation, this trial marks a breakthrough in cancer prevention, not just treatment. Phase 2 trials are expected to begin in 2026. This innovation could protect high-risk women and even help prevent the cancer from recurring. If successful, the vaccine could transform breast cancer from being treatable — to being preventable.

Trump Credits Himself Again For India-Pakistan Ceasefire | India Denies Mediation Role

After U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he played a key role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. In his latest statement, Trump mentioned that Prime Minister Modi and Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir helped in the process. What's more, Munir reportedly recommended Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, crediting him with preventing a potential nuclear war. Trump’s statement came just hours after a phone call with PM Modi, during which India firmly denied any third-party mediation, reiterating that the ceasefire was requested by Pakistan. Amid these conflicting narratives, India’s diplomatic credibility is being debated once again. Back home, political temperatures are rising with the Congress accusing the government of being diplomatically sidelined.

This chip may hold crucial information about the aircraft’s final moments.

“Next Week Will Be Big”: Trump Signals Regime Change In Iran As U.S. War Plans Intensify

As the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies, U.S. President Donald Trump has made his most aggressive statement yet — openly dismissing a ceasefire and signaling direct military action and regime change in Tehran. Amid explosions in Iran’s capital, Trump issued a chilling statement, “Nobody knows what I’ll do… Next week will be big.” U.S. media reports now suggest that Trump has approved a strike plan on Iran, while deploying stealth bombers and the “Doomsday Plane” to reinforce military readiness. Tehran has responded with rage, calling Trump’s words “cowardly threats,” while Russian President Vladimir Putin warned against any assassination plot, publicly backing Iran’s leadership. Trump hit back at Putin, sharpening tensions on multiple fronts — from Tehran to Ukraine. As Washington signals escalation and Israel continues to strike, the world now watches closely: Will America join the war?

Middle East Conflict Escalates: Civilian Infrastructure Hit Amid Israel-Iran Tensions

A full-scale war in West Asia is rapidly escalating, with Iran launching a barrage of ballistic missiles at key civilian locations in Israel. In a first, Iran’s missiles struck South Israel’s Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva — the region’s largest medical facility — injuring over 25 people. Residential buildings and a school in Tel Aviv were also hit, along with a direct strike on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Israel has condemned the attack, calling it an act of terror, while Iran claimed the targets were located near Israeli military command centers. These Iranian strikes came in retaliation to Israel’s recent air raids on Tehran’s nuclear and missile sites, including the Natanz and Arak nuclear facilities. As civilian infrastructure comes under fire, tensions have hit a dangerous new high in the Middle East.

Trump Vs Khamenei: War Of Words Escalates Into Missiles, Myths, And A New Front

In a fiery escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly warned Iran’s Supreme Leader of dire consequences, even hinting at his elimination. But instead of backing down, Ayatollah Khamenei responded with symbolic defiance—declaring “The Battle Begins” on social media and invoking the historic Battle of Khaybar. As Israeli missiles reportedly struck Lavizan—the Tehran neighborhood where Khamenei is rumored to be hiding—the war of words is fast turning into a war on the ground. Trump’s claim that Israel has “complete control” over Iranian skies has only hardened Iran’s resolve. With Iran drawing religious and historic parallels, and Israel pushing forward with targeted strikes, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Trump join the war effort? Could this trigger a larger regional conflict in West Asia? This report brings you the latest in this dangerous power play between Washington, Tehran, and Tel Aviv.

From Peace Plans To War Drums: Inside Trump's Shift After Israel Rained Missiles On Iran

When Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office for his second term, his promise was clear—no new wars. But things didn’t go as planned. As the Ukraine conflict dragged on and diplomacy with Iran crumbled, Israel launched a surprise missile strike on Iran’s nuclear sites on June 13. Trump, who had earlier resisted Israeli pressure, suddenly shifted gears. In a series of explosive posts on Truth Social, Trump warned Tehran of devastating consequences and claimed full control of Iranian airspace. He even hinted at knowing the whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader. As Israel's missiles pounded Iranian military targets, Trump’s carefully balanced diplomacy gave way to threats of total surrender. Will the U.S. now join the war? Is Trump about to cross the red line he once promised never to? This gripping report dives into Trump’s reversal, the crumbling of peace talks, and the volatile new chapter in the Middle East.

While he speaks of de-escalation with Iran, he backs Israeli strikes. He promises to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, but alienates both Kyiv and Moscow.

Dreamliners Under Scanner: Air India Checks Begin Amid Tears, Blame, & Questions On Accountability

It’s been nearly a week since the devastating Air India crash in Ahmedabad that claimed over 270 lives, yet the truth behind what went wrong remains unclear. As global attention focuses on the investigation, India Today has learned that the spotlight is now on the plane’s right-side engine—recently overhauled in March 2025, just three months before the tragedy. The 12-year-old Boeing 787-8 had passed a full maintenance check in June 2023 and was due for its next inspection only in December. Interestingly, in April—just weeks before the crash—Air India increased the aircraft’s insurance cover from ₹750 crore to ₹850 crore. Meanwhile, in compliance with the DGCA’s directive, Air India has conducted safety checks on 9 out of its 33 Dreamliners. The crash has also sparked political questions. Former Aviation Minister Praful Patel has questioned the silence of Singapore Airlines, which was responsible for maintaining most of Air India’s wide-body fleet. He pointed out that current Air India CEO Campbell Wilson is a nominee of Singapore Airlines, adding another layer to the growing controversy. Amid all this, the human cost is the most heartbreaking. Sole survivor Vishwas Kumar broke down as he bid a final farewell to his brother who perished in the crash. As families mourn and facts slowly emerge, one haunting question remains — how long will it take before India uncovers the real cause behind this horrific disaster?

Israel-Iran War Escalates: Nuclear Sites Hit, Missiles Launched, U.S. Prepares For Wider Conflict

The Israel-Iran conflict has entered a dangerously volatile phase. In a major escalation, Israel launched strikes on a nuclear centrifuge facility in Tehran — a site critical to Iran's uranium enrichment program. In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps fired Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles deep into Israeli territory. With missile barrages intensifying, reports suggest Israel is running low on its key Arrow interceptor stockpile, raising alarm over its defensive capacity. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iran’s unconditional surrender. But Iran’s Supreme Leader declared, “The war has just begun,” signaling Tehran's refusal to back down. The threat of full-scale war grows louder as Iran warns that any U.S. involvement will escalate the conflict into an all-out regional war. In response, the U.S. has deployed more fighter jets to bases near the Persian Gulf. As tensions rise and retaliation continues from both ends, the world watches closely. Is this the beginning of a wider, unstoppable Middle East war?

Trump’s Broker Claim Busted: PM Modi Says Pakistan Pleaded, Ceasefire Was Conditional

In a bold phone call, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear to U.S. President Donald Trump that India needs no mediation when it comes to Pakistan. Modi demolished Trump’s repeated claims of brokering the India-Pakistan ceasefire, stating that the ceasefire was India’s decision — taken only after Pakistan begged and pleaded. There was no mention of trade in the conversation, and the focus remained solely on terrorism. Modi underlined India’s new bold doctrine — that terror attacks will no longer be treated as proxy wars, but as acts of war. He emphasized that India has only targeted terror hubs with precision. In a diplomatic move, Modi also declined Trump’s impromptu White House invite after the G7 summit, citing prior commitments — but did extend an invitation for Trump to visit India, which the U.S. President accepted. As Trump continues to woo Pakistan, will this phone call redefine the strategic friendship between Modi and Trump?

The $100 million aircraft, part of the UK’s Royal Navy strike group, was forced to land en route from Bahrain. Since then, the jet has been parked in a high-security zone, guarded round-the-clock by CISF personnel. A hydraulic snag is reportedly preventing it from taking off. Royal Navy technicians and spare parts have been flown in to resolve the issue.

Gohar Ali Khan criticized the absence of ministers during the session and condemned the government’s lack of seriousness, especially regarding healthcare and emerging technologies.

A powerful 35-minute phone call between PM Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed India’s tough stance on terrorism and Pakistan. The call, made at Trump’s request after the G7 summit in Canada, saw Modi firmly reject any U.S. role in mediating the Kashmir conflict, calling Trump’s earlier 'truce role' a bluff. PM Modi briefed Trump on the recent Pahalgam terror attack, emphasised that India had halted operations only after Pakistan pleaded, and warned that India is ready to punish Pakistan harder if needed. He also clarified that no talks on trade or mediation took place with VP JD Vance.

Trump Demands Iran “Give Up Nukes Entirely” Amid Israel-Iran Air War Escalation

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning: Iran must give up nuclear weapons entirely. Speaking aboard Air Force One after the G7 Summit, Trump emphasised, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it’s very simple.” This declaration comes as the Israel-Iran air war intensifies, following Israeli airstrikes that triggered heightened regional tensions. Trump hinted at possibly sending U.S. envoys like VP JD Vance or Steve Witkoff for talks—but said it depends on what unfolds back in Washington. Western nations continue to pressure Tehran over its nuclear ambitions, though Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Is India Shielded From The Crude Spike Driven By Middle East Tensions?

In this edition market guru , we delve into the recent 40% surge in crude oil prices — from $56 to $76 per barrel — and examine its implications for Indian equities. With heightened tensions in the Middle East, particularly the Iran-Israel conflict, questions are being raised about how long the rally in oil can sustain and whether it poses a serious threat to India’s economy. While India has shifted its oil sourcing from Iran to Russia, and global demand remains subdued due to slowdowns in major economies like the US, the risk of a flare-up remains. As long as prices remain under $80, the situation appears manageable, but any escalation in geopolitical tensions could change that outlook swiftly. Tune in as we decode how crude price volatility, global GDP trends, and strategic oil supply decisions could impact Indian markets.

Smart Mid & Smallcap Investing Tips from Abhishek Basumallick | Share Market News

As mid and smallcap indices show signs of recovery, retail investors are wondering if it's the right time to dive in — or hold back. But should you be chasing index performance at all? Abhishek Basumallick, Co-Founder and Fund Manager at Shree Rama Managers PMS, shares why index-based investing may not be the smartest route in the current market cycle. He argues that true returns come from selective stock-picking and understanding the long-term growth of underlying businesses. With indices heavily weighted towards certain sectors like financials, a broader portfolio could underperform the benchmark. For retail investors, the key is clarity, patience, and a focus on absolute growth over 3–5 years, not short-term index movements.

Where To Find Value In A Market Held Back Because Of Mid East Crisis

In this episode of Market Guru on Business Today, Manish Sonthalia, Director and CIO at Emkay Investment Managers, paints a bullish picture of Indian equities despite global uncertainties. He highlights how front-loaded RBI rate cuts and significant liquidity infusion are likely to fuel asset price inflation across sectors such as PSU banks, NBFCs, real estate, capital markets, infrastructure, travel, hotels and QSRs. He believes markets will overshoot fundamentals in the short term due to this liquidity-driven momentum. On commodities, Sonthalia maintains a constructive view, recommending a 10–15% portfolio allocation to precious metals, favouring silver over gold due to a stretched valuation ratio. He also anticipates bond funds to benefit further as interest rates fall. Despite concerns around crude oil and Middle East tensions, he sees no immediate threat, calling India a relative safe haven in the current global landscape.

Can Penny Stocks Really Make You Rich? Here’s The Reality

In this video, we address a crucial topic that affects countless retail investors—especially those tempted by low-ticket price stocks. Many believe that buying more shares of a cheap stock can translate into higher returns. But is that really the case? Sakshi Batra is joined by Nilesh Jain, Head VP - Technical and Derivatives Research at Centrum, who shares his expert insights on one such penny stock that has dropped over 40% in the last year. Once trading at ₹270 back in 2010, the stock fell to under ₹2 during the COVID crash, rebounded to ₹30, and now trades around ₹13—highlighting its extreme volatility. Nilesh explains why this stock, despite its low price, is best avoided by investors due to a lack of strong fundamentals and recent technical breakdowns. He outlines a cautious approach for those already holding the stock, including a strict stop-loss strategy and potential exit levels. If you’re a retail investor drawn to penny stocks hoping for a turnaround, this is a must-watch for you.

Explained: The Mayday Call Before Air India Flight AI171 Crash

12th June 2025, A tragic Air India AI171 crash near Ahmedabad brought a chilling phrase to the world’s attention: “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.” But what does “Mayday” really mean, and why do pilots use it? In aviation, “Mayday” is the most urgent international distress signal, reserved for life-threatening emergencies—like catastrophic failures or sudden loss of control—when immediate help is needed. The word comes from the French ‘m’aider’ (“help me”) and is recognized worldwide. When a pilot says “Mayday” three times, all air traffic control resources instantly focus on the distressed flight, launching rescue and emergency response. This video explains the critical importance of the Mayday call, and why it was the last signal from AI171’s cockpit before tragedy struck.

In this detailed market outlook, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, shares his analysis on how the markets have reacted after a volatile start. Despite initial jitters that made the day feel like a “Friday the 13th,” the Nifty showed resilience by recovering from its lows and nearing the day’s high at 24,732. Jain highlights that as long as today’s low remains protected, the gap created earlier is likely to be covered between Monday and Tuesday. He expects the index to potentially reach 24,850, with momentum favouring a near-term upside. Importantly, mid-cap and small-cap stocks have remained largely unaffected by the recent fall, which, according to him, signals underlying market strength. Jain believes that the current reaction appears weak and, if key support levels hold, the market could resume its upward trajectory.

New Satellite Images Expose Pakistan’s Cover-Up After Operation Sindoor Strikes

One month after India’s Operation Sindoor, Pakistan is still reeling from the strikes — and now, trying to cover them up. New high-resolution satellite images analyzed by India Today reveal visual proof of attempted concealment at key military sites: Bholari, Murid, and Jacobabad. Hangars, craters, and command centers have been patched, tarped, or hidden — not repaired, just obscured.

How Sonam Lured Her Husband Raja Raghuvanshi To His Death On A Honeymoon Trek

A fairytale wedding turned into a nightmare in just 30 days. What seemed like a couple’s dream honeymoon to the scenic hills of Shillong turned into a meticulously planned crime scene. Sonam, the newlywed bride, now stands accused of orchestrating the cold-blooded murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi. From luring him with a temple visit to plotting the murder with her lover over the phone, every step was allegedly calculated with chilling precision.

A rented scooty, CCTV footage, and social media posts just days after the crime—posing happily with her boyfriend. As more shocking details emerge, including her alleged plans to flee to Nepal and manipulate Raja’s affection to trap him, this case has gripped the nation. A bride’s betrayal, a planned honeymoon, and a murder trail that raises disturbing questions about love, lust, and cold calculation.

Starlink Not A Competitor In India, Too Costly: MoS Communications Pemmasani

In an exclusive interview with India Today, Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, MoS for Communications, clarified that Starlink is not a competitor to India’s existing telecom networks but rather a complementary solution for remote areas. He pointed out that Starlink’s limited satellite spectrum results in slower speeds and significantly higher costs—₹33,000 for setup and ₹3,000 per month—making it unaffordable for most rural users. In contrast, BSNL offers broadband at just ₹400. Pemmasani emphasized that BharatNet already connects nearly all Gram Panchayats with fiber optics, and Starlink may only fill gaps where traditional networks can’t reach.

“Hiroshima Still Suffers”: Gabbard’s Visit Strengthens Plea To End Nuclear Warmongering

In a deeply moving message shared on her official Twitter handle, Tulsi Gabbard recounts her recent visit to Hiroshima, Japan — the epicentre of one of the most devastating nuclear attacks in history. Reflecting on the harrowing stories of survivors and the lingering sorrow still felt 80 years on, she issues a powerful plea to the world: stop the march towards nuclear war. Gabbard warns that today's nuclear weapons are far deadlier than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, capable of killing millions in minutes and triggering catastrophic global consequences. She calls out political elites and warmongers who, from positions of safety, stoke tensions between nuclear powers, putting ordinary lives at risk. Urging citizens around the world to reject this dangerous path, she champions a future where no one has to live in fear of nuclear annihilation.

He will become the second Indian in space after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma's iconic mission in 1984. Both men share a common background as fighter test pilots from the IAF, continuing a global tradition where military pilots often lead the way in space travel. From Yuri Gagarin to Alan Shepard, and even Indian-origin astronauts like Sunita Williams and Kalpana Chawla, pilot training has long been seen as an ideal preparation for the physical and mental demands of space. While the astronaut corps is now diversifying with scientists, doctors, and engineers, the legacy of pilots in space endures—and Group Captain Shukla is the latest name in that storied legacy.

U.S. And Iran Head To Crucial Nuclear Talks Amid Rising Tensions, Proxy Wars & Global Stakes

A new chapter is unfolding in the tense relationship between the United States and Iran, and the stakes could not be higher. After months of indirect negotiations in Muscat, both sides are gearing up for a pivotal round of nuclear talks this week. Iran has promised to present a “reasonable, logical and balanced” counter-proposal, even as the U.S. warns that time is running out to reach a diplomatic breakthrough. Meanwhile, Iran continues to expand its uranium enrichment program—now reaching 60%, far beyond the limits set in the 2015 deal—and is also rearming its regional proxies, from the Houthis in Yemen to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Just hours before Iran’s latest announcement, former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, underscoring the urgency of striking a new deal to avoid what he called “destruction and death.” For Washington, preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is not only about non-proliferation—it’s also crucial for maintaining stability in the Middle East, securing ambitious regional projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor and the proposed Gaza Riviera. But with talks stalled over Iran’s insistence on its right to peaceful enrichment and the U.S. demand for tighter controls, the path forward remains uncertain. As both sides prepare for a decisive meeting, the world watches anxiously—will diplomacy prevail, or are we heading toward another Middle East crisis?

EFTA-India Deal To Unlock $100 Billion Investment, 1 Million Jobs: Swiss Official

In a significant boost to India’s investment prospects, Helene Budliger Artieda, State Secretary at the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, has reaffirmed Switzerland’s commitment to the EFTA-India Free Trade Agreement. Speaking on the sidelines of Swiss Industry Day, which saw record attendance, she expressed strong confidence that Swiss companies—known for their precision, quality, and innovation—are well-placed to deliver on the ambitious pledge of investing $100 billion into India over the next 15 years. She emphasised that the trade pact, signed between India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), including Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, is designed not only to facilitate capital flow but also to generate 1 million high-quality jobs in India. Artieda highlighted India’s large, young population and rapidly growing middle class as key drivers of this partnership, adding that Swiss firms are not looking to export labour but to create opportunities for Indian talent. She also noted the importance of cutting red tape and establishing a favourable regulatory framework to ensure that investment commitments translate into real economic benefits. With Indian ministers, including Piyush Goyal, taking a hands-on approach and personally engaging with Swiss businesses, the outlook for bilateral economic cooperation appears stronger than ever. The EFTA agreement is set to take effect on 1 October and is expected to open a new chapter in India’s global investment journey.

One Year Of Modi 3.0: Jan Man Survey, Political Messaging & The Road Ahead For NDA

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term completes one year, the spotlight is on performance, perception, and political messaging. Marking the occasion, PM Modi launched the Jan Man Survey — a national feedback campaign inviting citizens to reflect on 11 years of the NDA’s rule. BJP president J.P. Nadda showcased the government's achievements — from lifting 25 crore people out of poverty to confronting terrorism, Covid, and global crises. But the Opposition, led by the Congress, countered with sharp criticism, releasing booklets questioning the government’s claims and highlighting India’s low global hunger ranking. Modi 3.0, unlike his previous terms, operates in coalition mode after BJP fell short of a majority in the 2024 elections. Yet, the party has shown resilience, winning recent state elections in Haryana and Maharashtra. What lies ahead is a test of its ability to push core agendas like the Uniform Civil Code and simultaneous elections — moves that could shape the political narrative for years to come. Watch this full report for a breakdown of the politics, the promises, and the path ahead for Modi 3.0.

Piyush Goyal On 11 Years Of Modi Sarkar

In the last 10-15 days, this is perhaps the third or fourth country you've been in, as far as the investment potential of India is concern. PIYUSH GOYAL, UNION MINISTER - Well, if you look at the last two weeks, this is probably seventh country that I am visiting. - And in the last month or so, seventh country in the last one month. And the reception we are getting is unbelievable. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the last 11 years, has taken the country from a fragile five economy to a top five country. - While you are all aware of all the macroeconomic parameters that have been strengthened in the last 11 years, while you are all aware of the outstanding progress India has made, the Indian economy has made, the work that's happened to reduce extreme poverty, you saw the last numbers come out two days back. - Poverty has come down to a single digit, barely five percent, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in the last, say, 11 years. I'll give you one very interesting data point. The Indian government was borrowing in the financial market on a 10-year maturity government bond in 2014 at 9 percent. - In 2014, Indian government was borrowing at 9 percent. And at that point of time, the US government could borrow the treasury bonds of a 10 percent. 10-year maturity, similar, were at 2.7 percent. So delta is almost 6.3 percent between the U.S. - Borrowing costs and Indian borrowing costs. Today, India's 10-year bond sells at 6.28 percent. The U.S. 10-year treasury, 10-year maturity treasury borrowing, is at 4.5 percent. So gap is reduced to 1.78 percent. - What does this story tell you? In fact, a very senior economist, and many of you may have heard of Christopher Woods. Christopher Woods is on record, the Jeffries analyst. And I'll quote, "indeed, it is no longer unthinkable that the 10-year Indian government bond yield will trade below the 10-year Treasury bond yield". - I remember when Christopher Woods had said that the Indian stock market is the best-performing stock market in the world, or when Mark Mobius said that he would like to put all his money into the Indian stock market. - Many even in the Indian media, and certainly most in the Indian opposition, who are totally no-sayers all the time, ridiculed the proposition. Today the world recognizes that we are the best-performing economy, year after year. - Siddharth you will recall, 2014, the Nifty was at 5,700 at best, possibly a little less than that when we came into government. 2014, Nifty at 5,700, as we celebrate today, 11 years of the Modi government, Nifty has crossed 25,000. - What does this tell you? Which market in the world gives you a return which is almost 5x in 11 years? The world today recognizes we are not only as the world's fastest-growing large economy, the best place to do business, but under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India is the most preferred investment destination. - Recognizing quality and good manufacturing practices, including sustainable manufacturing, India is a preferred source for provision of goods, India is a preferred destination to provide quality manpower, talent and skill, India is the preferred destination for services, India is the preferred destination to visit.

Will Look At Everything: Trump On Musk’s Government Contracts After Bitter Feud

President Donald Trump has said he would “look at everything”, when asked whether he would consider cutting government contracts held by billionaire Elon Musk. After an online feud between the two erupted over Musk's opposition to Trump’s tax-cut and spending bill, Trump suggested he would terminate government contracts with Musk's businesses, which include rocket company SpaceX and its satellite unit Starlink. Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, said that he would do so “if it’s fair for Musk and fair for the country.” Reports that he planned to speak with Musk were incorrect, Trump said. “I’m not thinking about Elon,” Trump said. “You know, I just wish him well.”

Markets Soar On RBI Rate Cut, Big Gains Ahead For Banks & Capital Goods?

In a bold move that caught analysts off guard, the Reserve Bank of India's latest rate cut has sent positive ripples across the capital markets. Kranthi Bathini, Director of Research at WealthMills Securities, notes that markets are climbing the proverbial "wall of worries", buoyed by the MPC’s monetary push—what he terms a "monetary moolah", "bazooka", and "bonanza". The rate cut, more aggressive than anticipated, is seen as a major booster for equity markets, particularly banking, financial services, consumption, infrastructure, and capital goods sectors. Bathini stresses that while domestic macroeconomic indicators remain favourable, global uncertainties such as trade tensions and geopolitical risks still loom large. Inflation trends, especially in the latter half of the year, will be crucial to monitor. Despite these concerns, the RBI’s policy stance reflects confidence in the domestic outlook, paving the way for markets to inch towards new highs.

We Don't Want Them: Trump Issues Travel Ban On 12 Countries And Restrictions On 7

In the wake of the Colorado attack on a pro-Israel group, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning travel from 12 countries, citing national security concerns. Trump's proclamation fully restricts and limits the entry of nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. While announcing the sweeping crackdown on immigrants on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump flagged Sunday’s Colorado attack, in which an Egyptian man set fire to peaceful protesters seeking the release of Israelis held in Gaza. The countries facing the total ban were found "to be deficient with regards to screening and vetting and were determined to pose a very high risk to the United States," according to a statement from the White House. In addition to the ban, which takes effect at 12:01 am on Monday (June 9), there will be partial entry restrictions on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. These include limitations on both immigrant and non-immigrant visas such as B-1, B-2, F, M, and J categories, primarily due to high visa overstay rates or insufficient collaboration with US law enforcement agencies.

From Celebration To Chaos: RCB Victory Parade Turns Deadly, Questions Mount Over Security Lapses

After an 18-year wait, Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s historic IPL victory turned tragic as a stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives. Thousands of jubilant fans had gathered to celebrate, but poor crowd management, lack of clear entry and exit points, and overwhelming numbers led to chaos. The venue, designed to hold 35,000 people, was swarmed by an estimated 2 to 3 lakh, creating an uncontrollable situation. Despite police warnings about weekday crowding, the government went ahead with a sudden victory celebration. Many senior officers were absent, assigned to VIP duties elsewhere, leaving the police understaffed and outnumbered. A delayed police response and a controversial lathi charge added to the chaos. Political leaders traded blame—while the Karnataka CM shifted responsibility to the RCB team, other officials admitted to lapses. The BJP criticized the Congress government for mismanagement and poor coordination. An FIR has been filed under unnatural deaths, but no arrests have been made yet. As the investigation unfolds, the pressing question remains: who is truly responsible for this tragic stampede?

Defence Sector Stocks Hitting Record Highs, Is The Rally Sustainable?

In this video, Kunal Rambhia, Founder of The Streets, discusses the ongoing rally in the buzzing defence and railway sectors, which have been capturing significant attention over the past month. Driven initially by geopolitical developments and a fresh wave of order replenishments, the defence index has risen steadily by 1.6%, with key stocks like GRSE hitting a new record high, alongside Cochin, Mazagon, HLBL, IdeaForge, and Zen Technologies gaining investor interest. Kunal shares his insights on whether it is the right time to book profits or continue holding these stocks. While those who bought at lower levels can consider riding the rally, new entries at these elevated valuations are viewed with caution. Using HAL as an example, which surged from around 3200 in March to nearly 5000 recently — a gain of 66% in a short span — he advises maintaining a trailing stop loss at 4800 to safeguard gains while targeting a potential rise to 5300. However, fresh investments in such high-priced counters are not recommended.

Putin’s Peace On His Terms? Ukraine Strikes Bridge, Russia Talks Total Victory In Istanbul

Ukraine’s SBU claims it has struck the strategic road-and-rail bridge connecting Russia to Crimea using over 1,100 kg of explosives — dealing a major blow to a key Russian supply line. This comes just days after Ukraine launched its biggest-ever drone strikes on Russian targets. Amid rising hostilities, delegations from both sides met briefly in Istanbul for a second round of peace talks since 2022. However, hope remains bleak as Russia demands more territory, demilitarization, and regime changes in Kyiv, with Dmitry Medvedev calling the talks a means to ensure a full Russian victory. As the world watches for Putin’s response, the White House has said Donald Trump is open to mediating peace and could meet both Putin and Zelenskyy in Türkiye.

Upasana Chachra On India’s Growth Outlook, Inflation Trends & Policy Moves | Morgan Stanley Insights

India’s economy continues to defy global slowdown trends, clocking a robust 7.4% growth in Q4FY25—making it the fastest-growing major economy in the world. In this conversation, Siddharth Zarabi, Group Editor, Business Today, speaks with Upasana Chachra, India Chief Economist at Morgan Stanley, to unpack the country’s economic trajectory, inflation dynamics, and policy outlook. This discussion follows the Morgan Stanley India Investment Forum 2025, held in Mumbai on June 3, where global investors converged to decode India’s macro story. Upasana breaks down Morgan Stanley’s strong GDP forecast—driven by resilient domestic demand, strong rural consumption, and record government capex spending. She also explains why inflation is expected to average around 4% over the next two years, aided by lower food prices and a forecast of an above-normal monsoon. With the RBI’s key rate decision scheduled for June 6, she outlines the expected easing cycle and its impact on growth and liquidity.

Exclusive | Raghuram Rajan On Global Headwinds And The Road Ahead For Indian Economy & Policy

In an exclusive interview with India Today TV's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan discusses India's economic outlook in uncertain global times. He emphasises the need for 8-9% growth for India to become a developed nation by 2047. "If we want to become a 'Viksit Desh' by 2047, we need more like 8.5-9% growth because we are a relatively poor nation. And so that growth is what we should be aspiring for. This, I've said, could be India's moment, but we have to seize it," Raghuram Rajan says. His remarks come even as India posts strong GDP figures in a turbulent global environment. He argues that India must act decisively to sustain higher growth—by unlocking investment, expanding the consumption base, and ensuring businesses, both domestic and foreign, have the confidence to make long-term bets on the Indian economy. For Rajan, India’s “moment” is here, but needs sustained policy action. The goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, he believes, is achievable, but only with growth that lifts all boats.

From Pahalgam To Policy: CDS Anil Chauhan On Pakistan’s Terror-Driven War Tactics

Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan delivers a powerful reflection on the nature of modern warfare and the role of terrorism in geopolitics. Drawing from the idea that war is a continuation of policy by other means, he questions whether terrorism can be considered a rational act of warfare. According to him, terrorism lacks defined political or military objectives, and thus defies rationality—unless it is used strategically by a state. He highlights how Pakistan, through its doctrine of "bleeding India by a thousand cuts", has institutionalised state-sponsored terrorism as a tool of policy. General Chauhan traces this strategy back to 1965, when Zulfikar Ali Bhutto declared a thousand-year war against India at the United Nations. Referencing intelligence sources and documented Pakistani military doctrine, he outlines how this long-term approach continues to shape cross-border hostility. This address is a sobering reminder of how communication, policy, and terror intersect in today’s complex security landscape.

Decoding India’s FTA Strategy: What It Means For Key Sectors

Harendra Kumar, Managing Director – Institutional Equities at Elara Capital, offers a sharp perspective on how India's latest Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are being used as strategic tools to reshape the country's manufacturing and export landscape. Far from being mere diplomatic formalities, these agreements are designed to leverage India's sectoral strengths and position the country as a serious player in global trade. As the world moves away from globalisation and supply chains become more regionalised, Kumar explains how India is aligning its FTAs with key domestic capabilities — from pharmaceuticals and defence to textiles, toys, and clean energy. Citing examples like low-cost generics for the US and reduced textile tariffs under the UK agreement, he highlights how these partnerships could unlock significant export opportunities. Combined with targeted government incentives, these FTAs are set to create a robust ecosystem that could make India a global manufacturing hub within the next three years.

Harvard Vs Trump: Power Play Behind Revoked Certifications, Federal Funding Cuts & Legal Showdown

In this explainer, we dive deep into Donald Trump’s unprecedented crackdown on Harvard University and how it has left students and faculty in turmoil. From the Department of Homeland Security revoking Harvard’s certification to enroll international students, to a series of strict government demands — including ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and banning face masks — the situation has escalated into a major showdown. But how can the Trump administration target a private institution like Harvard? The answer lies in federal funding, student aid, and legal power. Harvard relies heavily on government funds for research and financial aid, giving the federal government significant leverage to influence university policies. When Harvard resisted these demands, the government began choking its funding and even threatened accreditation. Watch this detailed breakdown to understand the complex relationship between Harvard and the U.S. government — and how money, laws, and courts shape the future of one of America’s most prestigious universities.

As May ends on a strong note, Indian markets are showing signs of continued strength, with the Nifty looking poised to potentially cross the 25,000 mark in June.

Defence stocks are likely to stay in focus, attracting strong trading interest, while low-ticket PSU stocks continue to see action on the long side. Tech stocks may also witness value buying opportunities. However, it’s important to exercise caution—especially with long-side trades—as markets approach key resistance levels.

Why China’s Refusal To Share Brahmaputra Data May Spark The Next Big Border Flashpoint

India Today’s RTI investigation has revealed a complete collapse in water diplomacy between India and China. Since 2022, China has stopped sharing critical hydrological data on transboundary rivers like the Brahmaputra and Sutlej. The MoUs for data-sharing have expired and not been renewed, even as China rapidly builds mega dams in Tibet. This data blackout comes at a time when the Brahmaputra—India’s lifeline for 30% of its freshwater and 44% of its hydropower potential—is more crucial than ever. With no access to upstream flow data, India faces mounting ecological, economic, and geopolitical risks, especially in the Northeast. Why has China gone silent? What role does India’s water treaty stance play? And could this trigger a dangerous new front in regional power dynamics—pushing Pakistan even closer to China?

With Bengal Polls Nearing, Modi Hits Out At TMC’s ‘Nirmam Sarkar’ While Mamata Dares Him To Debate

The political tension between the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Narendra Modi-led Central government is reaching new heights. The conflict escalated after Prime Minister Modi criticized the deteriorating law and order situation in West Bengal, accusing the TMC of promoting violence, corruption, and lawlessness. He claimed that the people of Bengal are eager to remove what he called the 'nirmam sarkar' (ruthless government). In a strong message ahead of the upcoming state elections, the Prime Minister warned that public trust in the TMC has eroded significantly, citing the failure of many central government schemes to reach the people effectively. In response, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee fired back, accusing the Centre of indulging in political theatrics under the pretext of “Operation Sindoor.” She highlighted how opposition leaders were busy defending India’s image internationally while the Centre targeted Bengal politically. Mamata went further, alleging that PM Modi is acting more as a BJP spokesperson than as the Prime Minister, and condemned his disrespect toward Bengal’s women. Confident in her party’s position, she declared the TMC is ready for elections, even if held tomorrow, and challenged PM Modi to a live debate. With this intense exchange of accusations and counter-accusations, Bengal’s political landscape is set for a high-stakes showdown that could reshape the state’s future as elections approach.

Modi’s Operation Sindoor Strikes Hard As Pakistan Begs For Peace, But Hosts Terror Rallies At Home

PM Modi’s Operation Sindoor has rattled Pakistan. While Prime Minister Modi issues a stern warning, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is making desperate calls for peace on global platforms like Iran and Azerbaijan. But back home, the reality is starkly different. Terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is holding open rallies in Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi, with posters of Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir placed alongside that of LeT founder Hafiz Saeed. In a shocking development, Talha Saeed, son of Hafiz Saeed and the likely future head of LeT, was seen addressing supporters. Adding fuel to the fire, Saifullah Ahmed, the alleged mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack and LeT deputy chief, also made a public appearance. This report exposes Pakistan’s double standards—pleading for peace abroad while nurturing terror infrastructure at home.

TACO – A Wall Street Acronym For Trump Which Made The US President Furious

A White House reporter on Wednesday questioned US President Donald Trump's resolve on tariffs during a press conference, after seeking his reaction to the term TACO – ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’, which left the President visibly angry. The reference was to Trump's announcing high tariffs on countries, and then "chickening out". Trump appeared visibly offended when asked about the phrase, dismissing the suggestion that he was "chickening out" and calling the reporter’s question "nasty". "I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?" Trump said, referring to tariff rates he imposed on imported Chinese goods.

Harvard Students Unite: “Every Student Is Welcome” Amid Trump’s Visa And Funding Crackdown

Harvard University is locked in a fierce battle with the Trump administration, which is trying to block the enrollment of international students and cut crucial federal funding. Students and faculty have come together in protest, chanting “Every student is welcome here” and demanding that all international scholars be allowed to stay. The government is reviewing over $100 million in grants and contracts, accusing Harvard of discrimination and antisemitism—a claim strongly disputed by the university community. This conflict threatens vital research at Harvard Medical School’s Sinclair Lab, which studies aging and life-threatening diseases, and relies heavily on international researchers and federal grants. Harvard President Alan Garber emphasizes that cutting research funds harms not only the university but the entire country, as this work supports national priorities. Despite legal challenges and public outcry, the administration’s actions could severely impact Harvard’s academic standing and the future of international students across the US.

India’s Kaveri Jet Engine Nears Takeoff | DRDO’s Indigenous Power Boosts Defence

India’s quest for self-reliance in defence has taken a big leap with DRDO’s Kaveri jet engine entering final trials in Russia — with only 25 hours of testing left. Originally meant for the LCA Tejas, the Kaveri engine is now being prepped to power India’s Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs). With U.S. engine supplies uncertain, public sentiment is surging with the online campaign #FundKaveri, pushing for indigenous innovation. DRDO is also working with global partners to co-develop a more powerful engine for the AMCA, India’s 5th-gen fighter. As testing nears completion, the Kaveri engine could soon soar—not just in the skies, but as a symbol of India’s aerospace ambitions. India Today tracks this powerful comeback.

Shashi Tharoor’s fiery praise for Operation Sindoor has stirred up a storm — inside his own party.

Accused of crossing the party’s ‘Lakshman Rekha’, Tharoor’s loyalty is now under scrutiny. Sources say his name was even dropped from Congress delegations post his repeated praise of Modi. Meanwhile, PM Modi himself took a public jab at Congress over Tharoor’s presence at a rally recently.

Trump’s Global Gift Bazaar: Jets, Golf Resorts & Crypto | Special Investigation

From luxury jets to golf resorts and crypto empires — Donald Trump’s diplomacy is turning into a global gift market. Countries like Qatar, Indonesia, and Vietnam are showering Trump and his family with lavish gifts and billion-dollar business deals, allegedly in exchange for favour or face time. Vietnam gifted a ₹13,000 crore golf resort, Indonesia offered hotel projects, and Pakistan even allotted 2,000 MW power for Trump’s crypto venture. Meanwhile, nations that don’t ‘gift’ him — like South Africa — faced mockery. Trump’s blurring the lines between statecraft and business, with Meta even paying ₹210 crore for a “presidential library.” This India Today investigation uncovers the growing nexus of politics and profit in Trump’s post-presidency era.

Speaking at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, he said the administration is focused on removing rules that he claims hurt the crypto industry under President Biden. “Our administration, we prioritize eliminating the rules, the red tape, and the lawfare that we saw aimed at crypto by our predecessors.

Vance also said the administration fired the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, Gary Gensler, and would continue to remove officials he views as hostile to crypto. “We reject regulators,” said Vance. “The game that they played is that under the pretense of consumer protection, they attacked every single effort to democratize our financial markets, and that is over.”

PM Modi: No Talks With Pakistan Except On PoK & Terrorism | Operation Sindoor, Indus Fallout

At a high-voltage rally in Gandhinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Pakistan over state-sponsored terrorism and slammed previous Indian governments for historic missteps—especially on Kashmir. Modi reignited the Nehru vs. Patel debate, calling the handling of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir a monumental failure. From Operation Sindoor to the Indus Waters Treaty, PM Modi declared India will no longer tolerate terror or inherit weak diplomatic legacies. Strikes were conducted “in front of cameras,” he said, ending the politics of "saboot" (proof). Meanwhile, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, speaking from Iran, appealed for peace and talks—on trade, water, and Kashmir. But Modi has drawn a red line: no dialogue without accountability. Talks will only happen on PoK and terrorism. Stay tuned to Business Today for exclusive updates and geopolitical insights.

Trump’s 25% Tariff Threat: What It Means For Apple & India

Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Apple, threatening a 25% tariff on iPhones manufactured overseas—particularly those made in India. Despite Apple’s ambitious pledge to invest $500 billion over the coming years, Trump has warned that devices made in India will not enter the U.S. market tariff-free. Apple has been gradually shifting its iPhone production to India in a cost-saving move, with assembly costs estimated at just $30 per unit—far cheaper than the $390 it would cost in the United States. Even with tariffs, the Indian route remains economically favourable. But will Trump’s protectionist stance disrupt Apple’s global supply chain? And could India’s growing role in iPhone production be at risk? This report explores the geopolitical and economic implications of Trump’s tariff threat—on Apple, India, and American consumers already bracing for rising prices.

From PoK To Indus Treaty: Modi Blames Nehru, Hails Patel, Warns Pakistan In Fiery Gandhinagar Speech

In a fiery rally in Gandhinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on Pakistan, accusing it of fostering state-sponsored terrorism. But his criticism didn’t stop there — PM Modi also took a sharp swipe at previous Indian governments, especially Jawaharlal Nehru, for their handling of Kashmir and PoK in 1947. By praising Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s decisive leadership and questioning Nehru’s choices, Modi reignited the historic debate over India’s post-independence security policy. He further slammed the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 as a ‘badly negotiated’ deal that continues to favour Pakistan. Referring to the recent Operation Sindoor, Modi hailed the success of India’s cross-border strikes and sent a stern warning to Pakistan — declaring that the era of tolerating terror is over. He even highlighted how the strikes were recorded on camera, taking a dig at those who often ask for 'saboot'. From past decisions on PoK to present-day military operations, PM Modi’s speech was a political and strategic broadside aimed at both foreign enemies and domestic critics.

He urged municipal and metropolitan authorities across the country to set economic growth targets for their respective cities. He remarked that while large industries traditionally thrived around metropolitan regions, the emergence of nearly two lakh start-ups — mostly located in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — demonstrates a significant shift. He acknowledged with pride that many of these ventures are being led by women, signalling a new wave of economic and entrepreneurial revolution.

107-Year-Old Rainfall Record | Flooded Stations, Collapsed Roads, Chaos In Mumbai

Mumbai was caught completely off guard as the monsoon arrived nearly two weeks early — the earliest ever in recorded history.

Streets caved in, homes were inundated in Panvel and Parel, and water entered the KEM Hospital. Hindmata faced unusual flooding and police confirmed only partial drainage systems were operational. Mumbai has now recorded the highest May rainfall in 107 years. With monsoon moving fast across Maharashtra, parts of northern India could also be impacted ahead of schedule.

EU Opens Another Front In Trade War With US, Says Euro Could Become An Alternative To The US Dollar

The Euro could become a viable alternative to the US Dollar, earning the 20-nation bloc immense benefits, if governments could only strengthen the bloc's financial and security architecture, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday. Unnerved by erratic U.S. economic policy, global investors have been reducing their exposure to dollar assets in recent months but many have opted for gold instead, not seeing a direct alternative. The remarks come at a time when EU is in hectic trade negotiations with the US and could also rub US President Donald Trump the wrong way. Trump has often hit out against suggestions of other currencies replacing the Dollar’s global footprint. He had also threatened BRICS, a grouping India is part of, with sanctions if it adopted a common currency.

In the latest episode of the Market Master Series, Shailendra Bhatnagar, in an exclusive conversation with Sandeep Tandon, Founder and CIO of Quant Mutual Fund, discusses market trends, FII participation, the gold vs. silver rally, and the performance of PSU and defence stocks.

With India’s growing consumer spending power and expanding businesses catering to local demand, Chakri believes the Indian stock market is well positioned for strong performance in the coming years. This presents an exciting opportunity for retail investors to capitalise on the nation’s economic rise and build on the progress achieved so far.

Why The Attari-Wagah Beating Retreat Is Scaled Down Amid India-Pakistan Tensions

The iconic Beating Retreat ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border is back—but in a scaled-down form. Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan over the past few weeks, this daily military ritual has resumed without some of its hallmark gestures, like the traditional handshake and gate-opening sequence. But where did this unique ceremony originate, and has it ever been paused before? The Beating Retreat ceremony was launched in 1959 as a joint decision between India’s Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers. Drawing from British military traditions, the ceremony was meant to symbolize both rivalry and respect—featuring synchronized flag-lowering at sunset, dramatic salutes, high kicks, and patriotic posturing by troops on either side. Performed only at the Attari-Wagah border, the ceremony remains a powerful display of national pride and military discipline. But in its current toned-down form, it reflects the fragile state of bilateral relations. The handshake is gone. The border gates stay shut. The tone is more restrained. This isn’t the first time the ceremony has been suspended or altered. In November 2014, Pakistan called off the event for three days after a suicide bombing near the Wagah post. In March 2019, following the release of Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, the ceremony was scaled down to avoid spectacle. In 2020, it saw its longest suspension due to COVID-19. And after the Pahalgam terror attack, it was paused for 12 days. As the ceremony returns—albeit modestly—it remains a striking symbol of both conflict and coordination between two nuclear-armed neighbours. But will it ever return to full glory? Watch the full story to understand the history, symbolism, and the current state of this dramatic daily ritual.

Asim Munir Elevated To Field Marshal | Power Grab Or Strategic Move By Pakistan?

Pakistan has just promoted its Army Chief Asim Munir to Field Marshal — days after being hit by India’s Operation Sindoor. In a surprising move, the Shehbaz Sharif government announced Munir’s elevation, crediting his “courageous leadership” and “strategic victories” despite recent setbacks. This promotion makes Munir only the second person in Pakistan’s history to hold the title of Field Marshal, after Mohammad Ayub Khan—who controversially promoted himself following a military coup in 1958. The rank, borrowed from British military traditions, is mostly ceremonial but carries lifelong influence. Asim Munir’s rise has been extraordinary. From being Pakistan’s first madrasa-educated Army Chief, to leading the infamous ISI during the Pulwama terror attack, Munir now holds unprecedented power. In 2024, he orchestrated a parliamentary move to extend his term until 2027, possibly laying the groundwork for even longer military control. This promotion has major implications for India-Pak relations and internal Pakistani politics. Known as a strategic hardliner, Munir’s elevation signals continued dominance of the military over Pakistan’s civilian government. His history with Imran Khan—whom he helped jail after a bitter fallout—proves that Munir plays the long game. What does this mean for Shehbaz Sharif? And for India? Has Pakistan handed over unchecked power to a “Jihadi General”? Watch as we decode the timing, symbolism, and high-stakes consequences of Munir’s new rank.

IMF Defends Bailout, But Adds 11 New Conditions As India Raises Alarm Over Pakistan Funding

The International Monetary Fund has justified its billion-dollar bailout to Pakistan, despite imposing 11 new conditions, taking the total tally of conditions under the programme to 50. The IMF insists Pakistan has met the funding criteria, including key economic reforms like seeking parliamentary nod for its federal budget and implementing agricultural income tax reforms across provinces. While the IMF board expresses satisfaction, India has raised serious concerns. New Delhi warns that such international funding could indirectly support terror infrastructure. Sources say India has reached out to IMF leadership and is now planning to push the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to re-add Pakistan to the grey list. India is also set to oppose a massive $20 billion lending package to Pakistan by the World Bank, expected to be approved in June. As geopolitical tensions rise, the funding debate for Pakistan has taken a sharp diplomatic turn.

Dal Lake Deserted: Kashmir’s Tourism Industry Collapses After Pahalgam Terror Attack

Dal Lake glistens under the sun, but the shikaras float empty. Kashmir’s tourism industry is in crisis. Following the Pahalgam terror attack and rising tensions between India and Pakistan, visitor footfall in the Valley has plummeted to alarming lows. From Srinagar’s iconic Nishat Garden to the houseboats lining the lake, livelihoods are at stake. Once packed with tourists, these places now echo with silence. Houseboat owners, gardeners, and local contractors speak to India Today, revealing the harsh economic toll on the poorest sections of society. Footfalls have dropped from 11,000 visitors a day to just a few hundred. Industry insiders have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reassure domestic travellers that Kashmir is safe, and ready to welcome them back. This ground report by Mir Fareed captures the desperation—and the hope—of a region that depends on tourism for survival.

One Month On, Pahalgam Terrorists Still On The Run, Hunt Widens Across Kashmir

A month after the brutal Pahalgam massacre that left 26 dead, including 25 tourists, the hunt for the terrorists behind the attack continues across Kashmir. Sketches of four Lashkar-e-Taiba suspects — two reportedly Pakistanis — were released within 24 hours, but the killers remain at large. India Today's Kamaljit Sandhu brings an on-ground report from the heart of South and Central Kashmir, where massive search operations are underway. The Army, CRPF, police and Rashtriya Rifles have intensified combing efforts from Anantnag to Srinagar’s Dachigam forest, but experts say it’s like “finding a needle in a haystack.” Retired top generals and counter-terror experts assure that while terrain is tough and tactics evolve, India’s security grid remains a step ahead. With ₹20 lakh in reward money and the NIA leading the probe, the pressure is mounting. Will the monsters of Pahalgam finally be brought to justice?
